  Speaker 1: You gotta slip in your palm and a hole in
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: your chase the black coffee on the felt.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Man, you look like a mess.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Three teen Parlette turned the dust in your head.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: Now you stare at the chips like they made.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: You this man.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: But don't you go quiet?
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Don't you fade from the floor, your name, steal me
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: something on somebody for show. Put the glass down, baby,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: look at me.
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: No, hold on, hold on, nothing nice. Now, hold on me,
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: but it don't.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: Get the crown.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Hold on, hold on and stay with me.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Now, what's up, bird budd It's towed back with you
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: with Toadsool Sports for Wednesday, July fifteenth. We had to
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: win on the show yesterday with the one play that
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: I gave out, which was in the WNBA on Washington.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Easy win with that one. They won by double digits,
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: no question about it. Didn't allow a lot of points
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: in that one. I was right about everything yesterday. I mean,
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: I told you I thought there was value at the
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: American League. In the All Star Game, I think they
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: won right. They were winning four to nothing near the end.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: I think I forgot to mention I also kind of
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: like to the under in the All Star Game. I
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: I'm never gonna actually recommend betting that game, but I
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: feel like it has a tendency to go under a
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: lot just because people think, oh, it's the All Star Game,
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: like all the big bats are gonna come out, and
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: it's gonna be like the the NBA All Star Game
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: where nobody cares about defense. Well that's not really the case.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: In the MLB All Star Game. You're still looking at
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: like really good pitchers and the hitters are only getting
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: up like once in the game, right, So it's like
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: you just get one at bad and it's a good
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: pitcher to try to do something. So I think the
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: pitchers tend to have the advantage in that particular game.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: But whatever, I was, dude, I was right about everything yesterday, right.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: I was right about the other WNBA game two with Connecticut.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: They were up big early and then they held on
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: for the win. I was right about the soccer game.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Spain should have given it notice to play. Spain was
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: awesome in that game, like their defense and just the
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: way that they possessed the ball. France had almost no
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: chances to do anything offensively. It was crazy. And then
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: towards the end of the game, I don't know what
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: Spain's goalie was doing. Like that guy takes massive risks,
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: like running out of the goal to try to run
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: down the ball and stuff. I'm like, what are you doing, dude,
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Like with like eight the eighty one minute mark, they're
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: up to nothing. I don't know if you were watching it,
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: but he like ran out of the goal and left
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: the goal unattended. I'm like, dude, are you serious? And
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: then somehow he got back and stopped not really a shot,
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: I guess it was a shot. He somehow got back
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: and got in the way of the ball. I'm like,
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: this is ridiculous, dude, But yeah, good on them. I'm
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: not gonna give out a play on the World Cup
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: game today. I just don't feel that strongly about it.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: But I will give out a WNBA play again today.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: We have no baseball today. All Star break continues, and
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: then there's only one baseball game tomorrow, which again makes
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: my job easier to handicap very few games here. Yeah,
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: World Cup, I mean I might have a play on
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: the final because I really think that Spain, after what
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: they did yesterday, everybody's gonna want to bet them in
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: the final, you know. Oh my God, they beat France,
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Like we thought this was impossible. Now everybody's just gonna
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: hand Spain the championship at this point, right, So I
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: think there's gonna be some value fading them in the
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: final with whichever team wins today. So which if it's England,
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: then I think my bracket is in decent shape obviously,
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: but we'll see it might not be all right. We
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: have WNBA here. I'm gonna give out a play in
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: the first game here, so we get action at noon.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: We're real degenerates here. Man, with the matinee at play here.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: This is just I think this is the best spot
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: that we have on the board here. And nobody's gonna
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: like this because we're gonna play on a really bad
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: team here, and the spread is not very big, but
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: we're gonna take Seattle plus two and a half here. Obviously,
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: I'm recommending throwing money on the money line on this
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: as well. I would say put percent of it on
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: the money line. I mean, if they're gonna cover this,
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: they're probably gonna win the game. We're gonna face Chicago here. Chicago,
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think they are getting a little bit healthier,
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: but this spot for Chicago is really really bad. And
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: it's not like they've exactly been a good team this year.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: They've been on a pretty bad run. Uh, they've lost
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: some good teams in here, for sure, But you look
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: at what they did recently. They're coming back from a
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: four game road trip. They've been on the road since
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: July third. So I always talk about this when a
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: team returns home from a long road trip like this
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: almost two weeks. In this case, stuff piles up that
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: you have to do at home, man, So you can
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: absolutely get distracted when coming back home. And I think
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: this is worse for Chicago because they played a big
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: game on Sunday against Dallas and they almost won that game.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: That was a win here on the show, if I
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: remember correctly, I'm pretty sure I gave that out. Chicago
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: covered that game in Dallas had chances to win the game,
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: they were winning in the fourth quarter, I'm pretty sure,
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: and fell just short, but still covered for us. So
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: two things working against them here the return home spot,
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: which can be a big negative, can get distracted, and
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: also they're coming off a big game, and they might
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: be paying more attention to these upcoming games because their
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: next game on Friday is against LA, who they just
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: lost to on Friday right before the Dallas game, so
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: it's kind of a quick revenge spot, if you will,
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: against LA, so they might be looking ahead to that.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Then they got Atlanta and then New York in the
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: following two games, so all these games surrounding the Seattle
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: game are bigger than the Seattle game. I think they
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: could easily overlook Seattle here because they're not a good team,
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: and I don't think these teams have played each other
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: this year yet, which kind of makes sense. I mean,
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: they're in different conferences. Seattle, I get it, they're a
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: bad team, but I think that they're gonna show up
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: for this one. They're in the middle of a road
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: trip here, and I know sometimes those road trips can
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: kind of get to you a little bit. They have
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: the same amount of rest here. They're only traveling in
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: from Washington, which I don't think is that bad. But
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: they've also lost the last two games on the road trip,
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: so I think they're gonna want to try to pull
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: even in this road trip here, and this is a
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: winnable game for them. The last game of the road
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: trip is at Indiana, so they're probably not gonna win that. Well,
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: you might argue, well, wouldn't they be looking ahead to that?
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: I don't really think so, because when you're Seattle and
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: you're losing all these games, you lost your last couple
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: of games, I think you're just gonna show up for
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: whoever your next opponent is. So I'm gonna say, yeah,
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: we're gonna play Seattle.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Here.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: It's mostly a fate of Chicago, though the spot that
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Chicago is in is bad. I think it's a return
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: home spot, plus debatably a sandwich spot. So I like this,
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: and the market seems like it agrees with me, at
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: least for now. It looks like a pros versus Joe's
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: scenario here. Actually, Chicago fifty eight percent of the tickets
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: fifty five percent of the money on Seattle, so that
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: seems to concur with what I'm saying here. That would
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: be my one play Seattle in the WNBA. We're hot
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: in the WNBA right now. Man. We've won three games
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: in a row, getting back on track with the WNBA here,
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: which I like to see. But let's keep it going.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Hopefully we get another winner out of this one here
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: and then the other WNBA games. The second game I
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: really don't have much of an opinion on LA at Minnesota.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: Minnesota is a double digit favorite, and we're still looking
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: at injuries on both sides here. Kelsey Plumb is still
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: out for LA and Collier is still out for Minnesota.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: The Minnesota has been an excellent team even without her.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: Minnesota is clearly the better team here. But will they
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: cover a huge number? I'm not so sure about that.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: They're coming out of a couple of nice wins here.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: They beat New York and then they beat Phoenix. Who
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: I know, Phoenix. You know, the record isn't that good,
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: but it's a decent win nonetheless against Phoenix. And I
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: don't know that Minnesota is gonna have their full effort
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: here against LA. I mean, they already beat LA in
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: LA by sixteen back in the middle of June. I
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: don't know, man, and now, especially because it's LA without Plumb.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: I think Plumb might have been in that game in June.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure she was, or she wasn't. Maybe she wasn't,
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: but either way, yeah, I don't have a whole lot
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: else to say about this game. Miles I think is
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: back for Minnesota, their star rookie and McBride is like
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: basically their best scorer. She's there right now as well.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: So do with all that info what you want. I
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: guess Minnesota is orcus. LA just lost to Atlanta, which
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: was a pretty big game for them, but it wasn't
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: really that close. They lost by nine points. They're not
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: gonna overlook Minnesota. I mean, you're gonna try to show
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: up with effort for a game against the best team
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: in the league, you know, So probably I would have
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: a slight lean towards LA plus the points here at
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: eleven and a half. The money's not agreeing with me, though,
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: seventy nine percent of tickets on LA, seventy percent of
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: the cash on Minnesota. I don't really see the public
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: coming in and playing LA here though, Like why would you?
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: Doesn't seem like that would really be the case to me.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: I think just generally I would say that Minnesota because
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: they're such a good team, Like, you're not really gonna
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: find value laying points spreads with them, you know what
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: I mean. So that's really my only feel this game.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: And then the total is really high at one eighty
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: three and a half, so it's expected that there's gonna
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: be a lot of scoring here, and the money is
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: coming in on the over LA notoriously bad on defense,
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: so that is probably pretty much the reason why that
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: total is as high as it is. Minnesota though they're
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: not bad on defense though, so whatever. And then Golden
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: State in Indiana is a TV game on USA Network.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: I mean, as far as WNBA games go, I mean,
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: these are at least two decent WNBA teams Indiana. Of course,
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: Caitlin Clark is back. They got Sophie Cunningham, you know
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: all that. They're coming off a huge win over Las
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Vegas though, and they're returning home from a road trip
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: in which they beat Las Vegas twice during the road trip,
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: once in their secondary arena, and the last game I
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: think was in Vegas's standard arena. So you might think, well,
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: why are we not fading Indiana here? This is a
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: bad spot, right, Yes it is. I agree. They've been
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: on the roads since Sunday, July fifth. They're coming back home.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: That could definitely be a distraction spot. And they're coming
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: off a huge win over Vegas. And not only did
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: they beat the returning champs Vegas, they beat them by
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: a lot. They beat them up by what is that
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: thirty four. Nobody goes into Vegas and beat well. Actually,
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: maybe I shouldn't say that, because Phoenix I think did
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: that in the first game of the season in the
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: finals revenge game, or I gave out a winner on Phoenix.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: Phoenix won that game in Vegas by thirty three. So yeah,
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, Vegas does have their issues at home here,
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: but Indiana, I mean, maybe Indiana matches up well against Vegas. Dude,
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: Vegas is probably not gonna want to run into them
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: during the playoffs after losing to Indiana badly twice a
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: though the first of those two games, remember Clark didn't
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: play and on the Vegas side, Wilson didn't play. But
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: I believe they both played in this most recent game
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: and it was just a destruction by Indiana. So yes,
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: I would agree with the sentiment that this is a
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: letdown spot for them off that ridiculous win, and it's
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: a return home spot. It looks like you should fade
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: them here. I have some concerns with that, though, because
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: Golden State is not really a team you're necessarily gonna overlook,
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: even though I know in a return home spot it's
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: gonna be difficult to get up and get ready for
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: that game. But their next game is against Seattle, which
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: is not a big game. This Golden State game is
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: very Golden State is on fire right now. They've won
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: seven straight games. I think they're playing some good basketball here.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: They beat Atlanta three times in that stretch and New
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: York once. Their last three wins were against mediocre and
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: bad teams though, so they're gonna have to step it
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: up in class to play Indiana here over the last
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: three opponents they had. I still need a Golden State here,
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: but this is just not I don't feel that it's
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: that strong. I think Indiana's definitely in a bad spot here,
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: so I would lean towards Golden State. Golden State. I
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: think they're a bit better at home than they are
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: on the road, though, and they're gonna have to step
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: it back up. They're coming up that win over Connecticut,
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: which is an easy win, so, but they do have
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: momentum here. Uh, the money is actually backing Indiana strongly,
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: though Indiana is at about minus one and a half
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: minus two here, eighty percent of the tickets on Golden State.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: I think it's just the public, you know, probably looking
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: at the records. Oh, Golden State has the better record.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: That's my other worry with this is it looks too
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: easy to play Golden State almost even though I know
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: Indiana Caitlin Clark all that they get a lot of
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: hype around them, Like nobody can even really name a
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: player on Golden State. I mean even I can't, probably so,
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: but Golden State has the better w records, So it
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: almost looks too easy to take them as an underdog here.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: But eighty percent of the tickets on them in ninety
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: three percent of the cash in Indiana. I still don't
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: agree with that market read though, if I was gonna
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: play this game, I would take the points with Golden State.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: I just think the spot is pretty bad for Indiana.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: But my play of the day is Seattle. Seattle's my
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: only play. I think Chicago's in the worst spot there.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: Then we have World Cup Action, which is the other
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: semi final, England in Argentina. This is in Atlanta, Argentina.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: I believe is coming in from the West coast, I
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: want to say, or no, I think Kansas City. Yeah,
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: I think Argentina is coming in from Kansas City, England.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: I think is only coming in here from Miami. I
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: believe so do what you want with that. But England
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: has a little bit of a better travel spot. Here
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: I mentioned that England is actually a very small favorite
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: in this game, although at this point the teams are
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: almost even as far as the line, so some money
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: has coming in Argentina. But I'm wondering if that's public money,
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean. Like, I have a hard
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: time figuring out what does the public think in this
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: game because I think the public generally they think, oh yeah,
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: Argentina the returning champs, they have messing like they're not
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: going to lose. And the public doesn't really like the
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: style that England plays because they play this low scoring style.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: So I kind of think that might be what they think.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: But then again, Argentina it hasn't really looked that good
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: in the knockout bracket here, you know, like barely get
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: barely getting by Cape Verdey and Egypt, and those are
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: two games where you know, I talked about those games
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: on the show. Obviously I gave out a play in
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: Argentina against Egypt and against Switzerland because I thought Argentina
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: was underrated after those two performances where they actually dominated
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: those games statistically. Against Cape Verdey and Egypt like expected goals.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: They won those games like basically like two to nothing
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: or two and a half to a half goal or
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: something like that. But people might think, oh, well, Argentina's
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: back on track now because their most difficult of these
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: opponents was Switzerland and they handled them three to one.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: True they did, and if you look at the expected
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: goals and whatever, Argentina was the better team in this game.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: But remember Switzerland got red carded at the seventy two
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: minute mark, and I was thinking we were gonna get that,
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: right because I gave out a play in Argentina on
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: the show on the money line in the first ninety minutes,
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: and I was thinking, once Switzerland got the red card
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: and it was one to one, I'm like, Argentina is
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: going to score here and win this game in regular time,
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: which they did not do. And instead they score twice
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: in like an eight minute span or nine minutes span
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: in extra time. So isn't that just great?
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Now?
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: If you look at the boxer here, I mean it
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: was Argentina won the game one point nine to four
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: to point four to seven expected goals. But one point
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: nine to four is a far cry from three right,
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: So the final score was still a little bit misleading.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: Argentina did not really dominate possession in the game. Both
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: teams put up a decent amount of shots on goal
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: in that game. But yes, Argentina was the better team.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: But I think maybe they're a little bit overrated again
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: now because they won that game three to one. But
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: that score again is a little bit misleading because remember
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: Argentina was playing the last like thirty minutes of regulation
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: plus all of extra time with a man advantage, So
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: you know, I think that you have to take that
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: into account and way that accordingly. Whereas for England, I
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: don't know what people are gonna think about England beating Norway.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: I mean, maybe they'll get hype for that, because Norway
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: had a lot of hype and a lot of people
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: thought Norway, you know, we're gonna win that game. I
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: didn't really think so, so I don't know. I don't
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: know what to think about this game. Although I think
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: England is more battle tested though than Argentina. If you
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: look at what England has done during the World Cup.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: They beat Croatia, that was a pretty good win. Ghana
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: is okay, then I know Panama is not very good.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: Dr Congo not good that game against Mexico though, I
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: mean Mexico is not great, but having to do what
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: England did. England was down a man for like half
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: that game, and it was in Mexico City in elevation.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: To win that game that is not easy at all.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: And then they follow that up by beating Norway, a
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: full strength Norway team, So yeah, you know, I mean
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: England is pretty battle tested in this World Cup, whereas
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: I don't really think Argentina is. I mean, look at
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: their run, like they had a really easy group in
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: the group stage, they beat Algeria, Austria, Jordan, then in
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: the knockouts they beat Cape Verday Egypt in Switzerland, so
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: literally Switzerland is the best team they've played so far.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: I don't know if that's a great thing, man, I
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: mean England is gonna be a big time step up
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: in class from Switzerland. And again, at least England has
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: played you know, Norway, Mexico, Croatia. I mean, those are
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: at least better teams than that, I think all of
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: Argentina's opponents, so England has faced a slew of better
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: opponents than Argentina has here. Although yes, obviously Argentina will
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: be the best team they have faced as well, but
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: I said that yesterday Spain was the more battle tested
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: team and they were able to get it done and win.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: I still like England in this one. I think if
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: you're gonna play it, I think England to advance is
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: probably the way I would play this. I don't know
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: what the line on it is right now, but I
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: know it's gonna be a small price on it. Like
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: you're pretty much looking at just to pick them. England
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: is a very small favorite. It minus won twenty to advance.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: I think that's probably what I would do. Like I think,
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: if you're gonna play this game at all, I think
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: it's just like determine which side you like and play
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: that side to advance. Right, And to me, it still
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: looks pretty easy to play Argentina at plus money, you
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: know what I mean. Like again, it's still messy in
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: the returning champs and getting them as an underdog. To me,
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: it seems a little easy to jump on Argentina here.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: That would be my take on this, my opinion on this,
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: and then yeah, the three way line England's plus one
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: seventy five, Argentina's probably like plus one eighty, you know.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: So it's it's this is considered to be about as
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: close as a match gets. I think an under maybe
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: is worth considering here as well. I mean England they
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: play really good defense, that's kind of their thing. Argentina
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: with the amount of goals they've scored. Remember, Argentina's played
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: extra time multiple times too, which might take its toll, right,
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: I know, a huge game against Mexico could take its
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: toll to in Mexico for England. But Argentina's gone to
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: extra time twice here in a row, right, They went
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: to extra time against Egypt and Switzerland. So Argentina's played
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: a lot of extra soccer here, So that could tire
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: Argentina out a little bit too. So that's another thing
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: to consider here, even though it means they're testing in
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: like really close games, but so is England. So and
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: England has been able to overcome one nothing deficits twice.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: England did that against Dr Congo and against Mexico, not
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: against Mexico, against UH Norway. I mean, yeah, England is
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: down one nothing against Norway and against Dr Congo and
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: they're they were able to overcome that and win anyway,
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: So England that's good experience for them too. They're able
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: to overcome deficits like that. They're like the only team
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: that's really had to do that, so I think that
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: will help them a little bit too. I don't know,
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: I think I'm talking too much about this one game,
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: but yeah, I mean that's uh, that's what I got, man,
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: I would in England here minus one twenty to advance.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: Don't think I really have anything else to say about that,
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: but yeah, I mean Argentina, Yeah, they've played all that
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: extra time, and I think the fact that they were
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: scoring goals and extra time makes their offense look a
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: little bit better than maybe it is. So I think
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: an under might make sense here. And also, like I
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: said yesterday, the semi final games, you tend to see
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: a lot of deepfensive focus and teams don't want to
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: make mistakes and stuff, you know what I mean, kind
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: of like a super Bowl type of atmosphere. So yesterday's
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: game went under, it would be in the first ninety minutes.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: I think this one also might and that's gonna do it. Man.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: My only play of the day is WNBA horrible, horrible, ugly,
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: you know whatever, you want to say about at Seattle
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: plus the points, learn a tone on Twitter, and learn
• 21:47

  Speaker 3: I should make members only. Maybe my like bracket specials
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: and stuff will be I don't know. I gotta figure
• 22:05
